Re: Can you name the songs you danced too?
First song I actually remember dancing to was Chubby Checker and The Twist - still pretty good at it.
First songs I actually remember - Shrimpboats are a Comin and Catch a Falling Star.

Re: Can you name the songs you danced too?
Graduated from St Mary Mags to the Con Club about 1942 -- Eddie McGarry`s rendition of Glen Miller`s "Moonlight Serenade" prompted me to ask a young lass for a dance. She`s still with me.

Sock It To 'Em JB by Rex Garvin & the Mighty Cravers at Accy Disco 1967. Never heard of it? It's the one they're playing on the current KFC commercial. What goes round comes round...

As you're from Preston you won't remember Accy disco, but do you remember the Stax Club in Preston?
